Abstract

Purpose - A successful career is the dream of any professional, and calling has emerged as a significant factor in career management, potentially boosting the individuals' inner and professional satisfaction. Based on self-determination theory, this study investigates the impact of living a calling on career success through job crafting. Further, this study hypothesized that career success can be boosted through the moderating roles of psychosocial safety climate and leadership humility.

Study Design/methodology/approach- Data was collected from 329 permanent manufacturing and service sector employees using a temporal separation method. Moreover, statistical techniques, i.e., confirmatory factor analysis, reliability, validity correlations, direct, mediation, and moderation, were employed using various statistical software, i.e., SPSS, AMOS, and Smart-PLS.

Findings- This study’s results revealed a positive mediation of job crafting between living a calling and career success link. Further, findings support the moderation of psychosocial safety climate and leadership humility in the relationship between living a calling and career success through job crafting. The findings explain that the indirect association of perceiving a calling with career success via job crafting was strengthened when individuals' perceptions about psychosocial safety climate and leadership humility were higher.

Originality/value -The present study provides vigorous visions to career researchers, individuals, practitioners, and academicians. Further, this study advocates that organizations focus on calling and psychosocial safety climate in HR policies that help individuals with career development. Further, this study extends our knowledge by identifying how job crafting and leadership humility are important to boosting career success.
